You and I will be long dead before that MIGHT happen.

That's a common sentiment one hears everywhere but C++ will stick around. Surely, new projects will more often than not be implemented with Go or Rust since the systems programming space becomes more and more fragmented and specialized.

However, there is so much legacy code around that cannot or will not be replaced just because any of the competitors is better now.
